- Summary:
- "In 1984, Derek Reilly was just another spotty teenage dungeon master growing up in middle England. But then, one midnight raid by a secret government agency later, his life was turned upside down by the Satanic D&D Panic. Decades later, Derek is a long-term inmate at Camp Sunshine, a center for deprogramming captured Elder God cultists. He's considered safe enough to edit the camp newsletter, and he even has postal privileges - which he uses to run a play-by-mail game. After 25 years, Derek finally has reason to escape: a nearby D&D convention. When a LARP game at the con turns out to be a dread ritual designed to summon a great evil into our world, Derek and his players must use their experience battling fictional world-ending threats to stop it"-- Adapted from dust jacket.
